The Contract Marriage by Winter Love

Chapter 331 Disappointing Results

When Ruby heard it was Ethan calling, she immediately greeted Julian and took the elevator to Ethan's office.

Ruby knocked on the door and walked in. She saw her father-in-law sitting on the sofa. She closed the office door

and walked over.

"Dad, are you looking for me?"

"Ruby, take a seat." Ethan called Ruby to sit opposite him.

Ruby smiled and nodded, then sat down opposite of Ethan. "Dad, what do you need me for?"

This was the first time Ethan had called her to his office alone since she had registered her marriage with Julian.

Ruby was more or less nervous and did not know what he was looking for her for.

Ethan saw the nervous expression on his daughter-in-law's face and smiled. "I heard Julian occasionally mention

about your family. I heard that your father is not in good health. How is he now?"

Ruby's heart warmed when she heard father-in-law ask about her family's situation. She looked at Ethan and

replied, "My father is much better now. . . "

"Really? That's good. Ruby, Dad called you up today because he wanted to talk to you from the bottom of his heart.

I know, ever since you came to our house, so many things happened. Fortunately, you and Julian ended up

together. I am very glad that Julian was able to marry a girl like you. Actually, it can be cured if you lose your

eyesight. But if your heart is blind and you want to walk back to the right path, it would be very difficult. Julian was

spoiled by his mother and me in the past. Sometimes, he would do things a little selfish. It could be said that before

he met you, he was a completely different person.”

“But ever since he went blind this time, I noticed that he has become more open-minded now, and he is even more

composed in handling matters in the company than before. All of these. . . It's all thanks to you!"

Ever since he woke up, his son had changed bit by bit. Ethan saw it all and remembered it. It made him

indescribably happy. This kind of feeling could not be bought with any amount of money.

Ruby blushed slightly when she heard father-in-law's words. "Dad, this is because Julian figured it out himself. I didn't

do anything. . ."

"How can I say that you didn't do anything? Everyone in Cooper Family saw what you did. It’s your kindness and

tolerance that’s made Julian better today. Dad is grateful to you from the bottom of his heart, and he is happy for

Julian. I know that it is a little unfair for you to marry Julian. Although Vivian had been imprisoned, she was still

Stephen's mother. In the upcoming days, Stephen still needs you to take care of him. But yesterday, Julian

mentioned to me that he didn't want you to feel wronged so he wanted to have another child. Regarding this, Dad

supports you very much. I've always liked having more family members. I think that's what a family should be like."

After saying that, Ethan picked up a bank card that was originally on the coffee table. He placed it in front of Ruby.

"Dad gave you the money in here as a token of appreciation. In the past, I also gave Sarah a bank card. You are

also my good daughter-in-law. I will not be biased against you."

"Dad! I can't accept this!" Ruby immediately refused when she heard this.

With Cooper Group's huge company, she knew very well that once father-in-law made a move, the money inside

would definitely not be a small amount.

Ethan waved his hand and interrupted Ruby words, "Listen to Dad first. This is a token of my appreciation. I know

what you do cannot be measured with money. But Dad can't find a better way. I know that your father's health is

not good, and I know a little about your family's situation. You can use this money to make their lives a little better.

If you can't spend it you can save it for when your and Julian's children grow up and give it to them. Anyway, you

can spend this money however you want. Okay?"

"Dad. . ." Ruby had grown up for so many years, yet this was the first time she had met an elder who treated her so

well. When she heard father-in-law's words, her voice choked with sobs.

Ethan looked at Ruby and smiled. "Dad hopes that you and Julian can live a good life in the future. You can stay with

Sarah and let our family become better and better, okay?"

"Thank you, Dad. . . " Ruby did not know what to say and just kept nodding her head.

"Dad still needs to go out to do some things. You can go back first." Ethan stood up as he spoke.

"Dad, I will go back first." Ruby also stood up.

"Um. . . " Ethan nodded slightly. He first saw Ruby turn around and walk out of the office, then walked to the desk

and told his secretary that he wanted to go out.

Ruby took the bank card back to Julian's office. When she walked in, the secretary had just left with the documents

when Ruby closed the door of the office and walked towards Julian.

"What did Dad want to talk to you about?" His father asked his wife to go up, which was out of Julian's expectations.

He was curious about what his father wanted to talk to his wife about.

Ruby smiled and walked to the seat opposite him to sit down. She looked at him and said mischievously, "Take a

guess!"

Julian looked at his wife's expression and deliberately frowned. He said, "Dad didn't scold you, did he?"

Ruby smiled and looked at him. "Do you think Dad is the same as you? He would not do something so uncultured. . .

"

"Yo! Looks like my Dad's image in your heart is not bad! Ruby, I really can't guess. Quickly tell me!"

Ruby saw his anxious expression and burst into laughter. She then took out the bank card and placed it in front of

Julian. "Dad gave me a bank card and insisted that I have to take it. That. . . Julian, can you help me check how

much money is inside? If it's too much, I have to return it."

Julian smiled and took the bank card. He looked at Ruby and asked, "What's the password?"

"Dad said it is for my birthday."

"Okay. Let me check." Julian picked up his phone and started to check quickly. After a while, the balance of the bank

card was transferred to his phone.

"How much is it?" Ruby looked at Julian who did not say anything. He just looked at her and smiled. So Ruby

immediately took the phone and wanted to hear it, but there was no sound inside.

Julian looked at her anxious look and smiled. "I will tell you when you come over."

Ruby heard his words and walked around the table to his side. She asked anxiously again, "How much is it?"

Julian reached out and pulled her into his arms. He held the bank card and smiled as he replied, "Dad is really

generous. Guess how much is inside?"

"Ahem. . . 500,000?" Ruby mustered her courage to guess. 500,000 was already a huge sum to her. Although she

had helped Julian deal with the documents previously, and the amount of money she had come into contact with

was much bigger than this, but that money had nothing to do with her. That was why she didn't feel anything. But

now, this money was given to her by father-in-law. That was different.

Julian could not help laughing. He looked at her and slowly replied, "Wife, you are now a rich woman. Do you know

that? There are ten million in it.”

Ruby gasped in surprise when she heard the amount. She grabbed the bank card and wanted to leave. "I have to

return it!"

With so much money in hand, she would wake up in shock even if she slept.

Julian hugged Ruby and said, "Silly girl, this money is nothing to Cooper Group. Besides, this is my father's kindness.

If you insist on returning it, what will happen if my father gets angry again? His body has just recovered."

"But this money is too much. . . " Ruby looked at the bank card in her hand in a difficult manner. She could not

describe her nervousness.

"Since Dad gave it to you, take it. Besides, he did not say that you must spend it now. Maybe in the future when the

company is in financial crisis, you can use this money. If you really don't want to spend it, find a place to store it

properly. When our child grows up, you can use it to start a company or do other things for him. Isn't everything

okay?"

Ruby thought silently for a while and finally nodded her head. "Alright, then I will save it up first." After saying that,

she looked at Julian. "Don't you have a son? Why do you want a son?"

Julian smiled. "Isn't it better to have two sons? I am more looking forward to what kind of children I will have with

you. When Vivian was pregnant in the past, I never felt the happiness and joy of being a father. But now, I really

want to experience that process again. I want to experience that feeling with you."

Julian put his big hand on Ruby's belly as he spoke. "Maybe there is already our baby here. . . "

Ruby heard what he said and felt a little disappointed. Ever since she was with Julian, she also wanted a child. After

the two of them registered, this feeling became even stronger. But the heavens seemed to always like to joke with

them. A few months passed, there was still no movement in her stomach.

Ever since Julian's eyes recovered, every time she saw him hugging Stephen and seeing the expression on his face

was that of a father, there was an indescribable guilt in Ruby’s heart. A few days ago, she was so anxious that she

ran to a nearby pharmacy to buy pregnancy test papers. After waking up in the morning, she tested them.

However, the results of the tests disappointed her every time.

Now, hearing what he said, her heart was filled with an indescribable complication.

Logically speaking, her and Julian's bodies were very healthy. It was impossible for them not to get pregnant after

such a long time.

If that was the case, then what was going on?

Julian saw that Ruby did not speak and thought that she was still thinking about the money. He smiled and

comforted her. "Since Dad gave you the money, take it. Oh right, you haven't been back to your mother's house for

a while. Anyway, there is so much money here. You can take some from there and let your parents use it. They've

lived too hard in the past. Since you're married to me, no matter what, I have to make their lives better and better.

I've been a little busy lately. After I finish my work, I'll go back with you. Okay?"

Ruby heard his words and reached out to hug his neck. She looked at him and said in a spoiled manner, "How did

you become so good now?"

Julian smiled and kissed her. "With such a good wife like you, how can I not become good?"

"Then can I really go back to my mother's house today?"

"Of course, I'll get my secretary to send you a car."

"Thank you, Hubby." Ruby wanted to stand up as she spoke. She really wanted to go home and take a look today,

but before that, she had to do one more thing no matter what.

Julian did not let go. He held her in his arms again. "Wife, you need to do something practical!" After saying that, he

gently grabbed the back of her head and kissed her hard on the lips. Only then did he let go of her and let her stand

up.

"Then I'll be leaving first."

"Alright Call me if you need anything."

"Okay. . ." Ruby nodded and walked out of the office with her bag.
